Don't say it too loud or they'll replace your ports with some fancy DRM safe stuff.

Which of course is added complexity and a source of incompatibility between playback devices and screens. Can't count the number of times in the early years of HDMI that I couldn't play a DVD because my projector didn't support it.

On the other hand, the pirated copy still worked great.
